Bioremediation of Poultry Waste
Abstract
Enzyme technology and development today is a highly efficient and potent process. However, there are so many fields where improvements in our knowledge and the ability to predict outcomes would be advantageous. Actinomycetes, the wonderful organisms can able to produce antibiotics and enzymes are acting as a source for the production of keratinase enzyme. Poultry waste is the one of the major cause for soil pollution and 18 million thousand poultry waste was produced every year which can be treated by keratinase enzyme, thus bioremediates and converts them into cysteine rich amino acids and can be used as food and feed supplements. Our research studies discuss the degradation patterns of feather effluents by Actinomycetes and the formation of degradable products. Thus Bioremediation of Poultry Waste and its further use in Biotechnology are discussed.
Keywords: Keratinase, poultry waste, cysteine, Actinomycetes, Degradation
